Examples

Example 1: Create a bundle

The following example shows how to create a basic new bundle. This request will create a new bundle named Just some files and add two existing items to the bundle. This bundle can be used to share a collection of files with other users without sharing the folder those items are stored in.

Request

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drive/bundles
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "Just some files",
  "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior" : "rename",
  "bundle": { },
  "children": [
    { "id": "1234asdf" },
    { "id": "1234qwerty" }
  ]
}

Response

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/json

  "id": "1234321!abc",
  "name": "Just some files",
  "bundle": {
    "childCount": 2
  }
}

Example 2: Create an album

The request to create a new photo album is similar, although inside the bundle facet, the album property is set to a non-null value.

Request

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drive/bundles
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "My Day at the Beach",
  "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior" : "rename",
  "bundle": { "album": {} },
  "children": [
    { "id": "1234asdf" }
  ]
}

Response

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "id": "1234321!abc",
  "name": "Just some files",
  "bundle": {
    "childCount": 2,
    "album": { }
 }
}

If @microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior is set to rename and a bundle with the same name already exists, the new bundle name will be updated to be unique. OneDrive will append a number to the end of the bundle name.

For example, My Day at the Beach would be renamed My Day at the Beach 1. If My Day at the Beach 1 is taken, then the number would be incremented again until a unique bundle name is discovered.
